Case Study Archives: Becton Dickinson annuals - a theme continuum


A special relationship between BrandLogic and Becton Dickinson (BD) has grown since 1996, beginning with a special logo and hardbound coffee-table book to commemorate BD's 100-year anniversary. Since then, BrandLogic and BD have collaborated to produce the company's annual reports.   
    For more than 100 years, BD has touched the lives of millions of people through its medical diagnostic, drug research, development and delivery products. Yet the $4.5 billion company was little known to the public and potential investors. To help people understand this unique, global company, BrandLogic has developed a theme continuum over the years to underscore BD's strengths and innovations. The annual reports have spoken to the company's deliberate growth and evolution, and of its work in providing critical tools, solutions, and contributions to improve human health, always with a focus on the end user – the medical practitioner and the patient.
    According to BD's director of investor relations, "Our recent annual reports have done an excellent job of articulating BD's new vision. The books speak to our constituencies, both within and outside the company, about the dramatic changes we've undertaken."
